The electron pairs in an ammonium ion are disposed along the four lines from the center of a tetrahedron to the four corners of the tetrahedron, with the nitrogen atom at the center of the tetrahedron.
The element hydrogen forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion, which is +1. When hydrogen loses an electron, it becomes a hydrogen ion with a +1 charge, just like the ammonium ion.
The NO2- ion has one lone electron pair.
The ammonium ion forms when an ammonia molecule (NH3) takes a hydrogen ion (H+) either from an acid or from water. The positive charge on the hydrogen ion is taken over into the new ammonium ion.
It is considered an Ionic bond. Ammonium donates an electron and nitrate accepts an electron. By itself, ammonium ion is a molecular compound and the nitrate ion is a molecular compound, but when combined they are considered to be ionic. Only molecular compounds can be covalent bonded and are designated: covalent, polar, or nonpolar. The difference between polar and nonpolar depends on the difference of electronegativities of the atoms present.
The Lewis structure for ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) consists of an ammonium ion (NH4+) bonded to a chloride ion (Cl-). The nitrogen atom in NH4+ has a lone pair of electrons, forming coordinate covalent bonds with the four hydrogen atoms. The chloride ion has a full octet.

The hybridization of the valence electrons on the nitrogen atom in NO+ is sp. The electron pair geometry is linear, and the shape of the ion is also linear.
carbonate ion is having trigonal planar geometry
The electron pair geometry of Br3 (tribromide ion) is trigonal planar. This is due to the presence of three bromine atoms bonded to a central bromine atom, with no lone pairs on the central atom. The arrangement minimizes electron pair repulsion according to VSEPR (Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion) theory.
The molecular geometry of the AsO2- ion is bent (because of the lone electron pair with the central arsenic atom, making the O-As-O bond angle very obtuse) but its electron domain geometry is trigonal planar because there are three domains, with a 120 deg. angle between them.
Its actually electron pair repulsion. Its the principle that electron pairs around a central atom tend to orient themselves as far apart as possible. Electron pair repulsion is used to predict the geometry of a molecule or a polyatomic ion.
The formula for the ammonium ion is NH4+. It has a positive charge of +1 due to donating one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
The element hydrogen forms an ion with the same charge as the ammonium ion, which is +1. When hydrogen loses an electron, it becomes a hydrogen ion with a +1 charge, just like the ammonium ion.
Ions Have Ionic bonds, Not covalent. Therefore none.
Yes, the ammonium ion (NH4+) is tetrahedral in shape. It consists of four hydrogen atoms bonded to a central nitrogen atom, resulting in a tetrahedral molecular geometry.
The NO2- ion has one lone electron pair.
ICl4-'s electron domain geometry is octahedral.
